Between 2020 and 2025, Cyprus recorded 17 femicides, highlighting a concerning trend in violence against women. In 2025 alone, 300 women and 347 children sought refuge in shelters dedicated to victims of violence, indicating a significant need for support services across the island. These figures were confirmed by the Cypriot police and echoed by various officials, including Aristos Tsiartas, the President of the National Coordinating Body for the Prevention and Combating of Violence against Women.
The alarming statistics have prompted discussions about the necessity of preventive measures as authorities continue to explore effective strategies to address the issue. Furthermore, reports indicate that there have been two attempted femicides in 2026, underscoring ongoing risks to women's safety and prompting calls for enhanced protective and preventive measures within the community and law enforcement.
